Hi,

Good to see more people from SI on this site. How are you doing post op? Good I hope! I was banded in Nov. 08, so if you have any question, just ask. Talk to you later, Barb

Hi Barb - I am feeling good but starting to get bored of the broth, Decaf tea, Protein drinks & Jello. I won't moan about it through. I've already lost 17lbs and that makes it all worth it.

I will def be in touch if questions come up. Thanks for the offer.

SIUH has a very good support group and they will be meeting 1/7 at 6pm. As for the boring food, look at it this way, you are 1 week down. I known I just wanted to get through those first 6 weeks after banding. Now, I am eatting normal foods but in alot smaller portion. Keep up the good work, Barb

Hi

I was banded 3 years ago. SIUH Dr Nicastro & McMullen. I lost 90 pounds. When I complained about acid reflux, they took the Fluid out. I put on 25 lbs. They are slowly adjusting me, but are only putting 1.8 back. I was at 2.5 cc. Very discouraging. It is not working like it did. :bored:
